    Sadly election results prove every few years, that you are the only one seeking radical change.

    ~30-50% want extreme conservativism/capitalism. ~20-40% want everything as-is.
    ~30% want mild improvements like a really low UBI.
    <5% want to get rid of oligarchs.
    <.1% want to eliminate suffering.

        Those that do not vote don’t seem to vote meaningfully different from voters.

        This is to be expected, as non-voters either don’t care to vote as they have their own problems, or have a general mistrust of the voting system. These traits are not specific to progressives or conservatives, so they don’t skew the outcome meaningfully.

        As much as i would like it, there is no 1/3 of the population that is made from antinatalist communists just waiting for the signal.

        The ones who vote are the only ones who matter unless we unite to change things by other means.
